Instructors

Charless Fowlkes

Associate Professor in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering

My research is in computational vision, in particular how to integrate mechanisms for visual recognition and perceptual organization. I also work on developing tools for biological image and shape analysis in order to measure morphology and spatial patterns of gene expression in developing animals.

Xiaohui Xie

Gopi Meenakshisundaram

Professor in Computer Science

My research work focuses mainly on topics related to geometry and topology motivated byproblems in computer graphics and interactive rendering. Currently, I am also working onmedical and biological image processing and visualization.

Padhraic Smyth

Professor in Computer Science

My work focuses on machine learning, pattern recognition and statistics.

Guest Lecturers:

Sunil Gandhi

Assistant Professor in Neurobiology & Behavior

My research is focused on understanding the circuit mechanisms that regulate the plasticity of the visual cortex. I employ a combination of techniques including in vivo two-photon functional imaging and patch-clamp recordings, the transplantation of neuronal precursors, visual behavioral training and mouse genetic tools that identify, stimulate and silence defined neural circuits.

Course Organization

Felix Grün

Project Scientist & Course Coordinator

I am an experienced research scientist with a broad interdisciplinary background focused on nuclear hormone receptor siganling, endocrine disruption and systems biology. I served as the Academic Coordinator for the Center for Complex Biological Systems (2009-2017) where I implemented a variety of educational and training activities including national short courses. I am currently the Director of UCI's Mass Spectrometry Facility in the Department of Chemistry.
